  1. 2 weeks paid sick leave for employees would probably solve this 🤷‍♂️

  2. 0:26 Look at the right side of your screen; that Diesel locomotive is painted the right color for Halloween.

  3. What people don't get is this strike is not about money its about us actually getting time off at home we spend days away from home at a time and then get 10 hours at home before we are gone again then if we take an unpaid day off we have to work 14 days straight on call 24/7 to get the "points" back so we can take another un paid day off I myself have worked 10 of the last 11 days and the only days I didn't work I was in a hotel a state away from my family for over 20 hours and the companies consider this time spent trapped with no transport or easy access to even food as time off

  4. well…I've been wanting some cheap CSX stock ever since I used to sleep rough by the RR.

  5. It was always a fake deal so China Joe could look good.

  6. Good. I hope they hold every corporation hostage. EAT THE RICH.

  7. Good. I hope they hold every corporation hostage. EAT THE RICH.

  8. Waiting till after midterm elections so they can blame Republicans when they take power back from the left.

  9. Time to walk. If union heads like the deal so much, they can do the work.

  10. These "LEFTY UNION BOSSES" are doing PUTIN'S biding…the CIA should investigate those union bosses to see who in Russia and China Thay have been talking to and to see if thay have any unexplained wealth…to course upheaval to the country at this time is nothing short of treacherous and Thay should be brought to justice!!!.😡💕🇺🇸🇺🇦

  11. Well, the FEDS asked for more job lost, claim it would be good for the #ECONOMY 🤪

  12. I don't understand what this has to do with "Wall Street hedge fund managers" ? They want higher stock price instead of higher wages?

  13. We truck drivers are next to strike

  14. Learn the language and keep your nose out of our business

  15. HERE IN BRAZIL, EVERYBODY SAY:TRUMP ON THE WHITE HOUSE.

  16. President Biden said he was the “most pro-union President in American history”
